Small Tattoos
Small tattoos are incredibly popular among men and women, especially those who are new to tattooing and want to start small. If you are a newbie I thoroughly recommend that you start with a small tattoo as it will give you a comprehensive introduction to the process of getting a tattoo. You can later decide if you would like to ink larger, more adventurous designs. I recommend that complete newbie’s read through the information in the Tattoo Info area of this website for a complete guide to the tattooing process, including tips on how to avoid some of the most common mistakes people make when getting their first tattoo.

Small Tattoos are not only for beginners, many tattoo veterans also opt to ink small designs. There are some body parts that provide only a small canvas for tattooing, meaning that the tattoo design inked must be small. This is true for tattoos sited on the ankle, foot, wrist, hand, and back of the neck. Small tattoos are by no means limited to these areas though, in fact a small tattoo can be sited anywhere you choose. Some people even decide to ink a small tattoo to cover up a scar or other skin blemish.

Another important characteristic of small tattoos is that they are subtle and easier to hide than larger tattoos. Obviously getting a small tattoo inked on your face, neck, or hands is still going to be very conspicuous, but for other body areas a smaller tattoo will be far less noticeable. This is an important consideration for most working people as employers tend to frown upon highly visible tattoos.
Another advantage of small tattoos is that the pain associated with getting inked will have to be endured for a shorter period of time. The intensity of the pain will largely depend on where on your body you decide to ink your tattoo, with fleshier areas being less painful than bony areas. Small tattoos also tend to be less expensive than larger designs, although the complexity of the design, the colours used, as well as the reputation of your artist will also determine the cost.
Virtually any design style imaginable can make fantastic small tattoos, meaning limitless possibilities for both men and women. In addition to choosing from already small designs, it is often possible to resize larger designs, providing that the design doesn’t become overly intricate and therefore difficult to ink. Some of the most popular small tattoo designs for girls include star, butterfly, cross, flower, bird, zodiac, heart, fish, fairy, and celtic designs. Men often choose from tribal, celtic, cross, eagle, heart, scorpion, and tiger designs. Another excellent small tattoo design is inking the name of a loved one, or a favourite saying or quote. Many stylish English language fonts are available, or why not translating the text and inking in a foreign script, such as an Asian character script.
